Suggestions for disposable CO2 Cartridge setup

[mistahoo]

Any suggestions/recommendations on a disposable CO2 cartridge setup? $60 would be the max. Not looking to break bank on an ADA setup. Just something nice and simple. If it comes with diffuser, bubble counter, and regulator, that's a bonus.

It's going on a 2.5 liter tank, so I'd rather not get a real setup or a paintball setup. DIY CO2 water bottles are out of the question.

I'm somewhat leaning toward the ITSA 45g setup right now. Comes with 3-in-1 Bubble counter, diffuser, check valve, stand, cartridge, tubing, and regulator. Been reading a lot how the Fluval ones are trash and are passive diffusion instead of active diffusion.

Lol. I'm new to CO2 as well. I wanna try it on this tank because there's no fish or shrimp in it, so I can't kill anything

The tank yes the way the CO2 works. My self and others may learn something...

My biggest concern in the paintball CO2 set ups would be the issue with it lacking a Ph monitor. theoretically with a low enough injection rate you could avoid the possibility of it crashing out the Ph. My recommendation would be to start with a very low BPM rate and increase it slowly. A solenoid would be helpful as well to open it when the lights are on and shut it off when they are off.

I'm not going to even attempt to try a paintball setup. For the little tank, I'm going with the disposable cartridge stuff for now. My bigger tanks I'll probably get an actual setup.
